A long day

Hey everyone.

I wish that I was feeling better about things so I could entertain you with my bloggy wittiness. Alas, today has been a long day and it is only 10:50 in the morning. :S It only looks to be getting worse, so I wanted to blog now instead of later.

Some of you may have been hearing about the "30 Days of Truths Challenge" that people have been doing on their blogs. I looked at it, and I have decided that not only will this be a good thing for me (and you--for reading), but that it will help me to get out of the FUNK I fell into a week ago. Since it's almost the end of the month, I'm going to start up the first of October. I already know that I don't want to answer many of these questions, but I think it will be good.

I want to also apologize beforehand if I offend anyone. This is a challenge of truth. I feel the way I do about certain things and people for a good reason. I have never taken a stance on something that I haven't had experience with or have educated myself about. So, please take what you read as an opinion and not an insult. Things would be much easier if you did.

If you are still interested in what's to be said about Karyn :), here is the challenge:

I will also be adding to the challenge by giving you AMAZING musical lyrics after each post. :) hope you are all ready to take the journey with me! :) It'll be AWESOME!

The song for today is appropriate with the optimism that I want to feel. :) I LOVE this song... even though some people think it's hokey...and  I LOVE LOVE Barry Manilow, so here it is!!!

I Made It Through The Rain
by: Barry Manilow

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive

We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives

Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade

'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
